OSx Lion Upgrade

I recently bought a MacBook Pro just under a week ago and I know I am eligible for a free download of the OSx Lion. Where do I go to receive this. I was told to go to the App Store but it only gives me the option to buy. Where do I go request the upgrade for free.

I believe this is what you're looking for. Hope it helps!

OSX LION UPGRADE AND WORD AND EXCEL

Just upgraded to OSX Lion and my old word and excel will not open. Message is "Power PC applications are no longer supported?" What can I do?

Office 2011 works well now that they patched it up. You can get it for $89 on Amazon for a single user license.

Osx lion upgrade - computer boot VERY slow

after upgrade to OSX Lion, my computers boot very slowly. they also have a hard time waking from "sleep", sometimes running fans then going back to sleep again. disk verified, permissions repaired before and after install. any ideas? it's happening on more then one machine so it appears to be related to the software.

same at me! MBP 15",I7,early 2011
Inspecting /var/log/system.log shows many of those error-messages:

After booting, for more than a minute, most of the Apps work very slowly. Most buttons have to be pressed an second, a third time to work. After using Yasu (http://jimmitchell.org/yasu/) it seems to be a little bit better but after two/three bootings appears the same effect.
Than i decided to install Lion again but with the same result.The activity-display, showing ALL(!) processes, sorted for cpu-usage dont show no very consuming process ???

IPhoto videos will not play after OSX Lion upgrade

My old iPhoto videos uploaded from my iPod won't open since it's been updated to OSX Lion... but the new videos uploaded since the upgrade could be played! The thumbnail displays the video but when I click it, a grey triangle with an exclamation point inside it shows up!
What do I have to do to be able to play all my other videos?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

OSX Lion upgrade, then no long see 6th gen Nanos

After upgrading my pro to OSX Lion, I am no longer able to see the Nanos. I can synch iPhone, shuffle, old gen ipod but not the Nanos. At first I thought it was a broken unit...but two of them?

This software seems to pinpoint the problem. I haven't had the restart issue with Intel onboard graphics only. However, this definitely isn't a problem solved.
After much more research, I found that people with my video card have been having this issue since OSX Lion and Apple still hasn't fixed it. This is incredibly disappointing. I will be contacting Apple for a refund on Mountain Lion soon if I can't find updated drivers.
Thanks very much for your help.

Time capsule hanging up after OSX Lion upgrade

Hello
After my recent upgrade to OSX Lion, my MacBookPro is hanging up when trying to connect and update my Time Capsule update...
After 8 hours of unsucessful trials for a 8 Go back up, I have given up.
Something to be advised in order to get back on the same easy/seamless Time Capsule updates I enjoyed previously ?

I am using a 2010 iMac and tried a completely new 250+Gb Time Machine copy to a WD Passport USB 2.0 500Gb external HD. It's taking like more than 2 days. Never took that long before. Not a web or wi-fi issue. Before Mountain Lion, should have taken 3-4 hours max. I tested the external hard drive on a another Mac with a large file transfer and there were no problems. I also turned off all the spotlight choices. The issue has something with Mountain Lion.
Has anyone heard from Apple acknowledging the issue and that they are working to resolve the problem?

Have I received poor advice about osx lion upgrade?

I have a 2011 13" MBP, Intel Core i5, 4GB ram model (Purchased new from an Apple store in April 2011).
I have asked an Apple store assistant if I will be able to upgrade to the forthcoming Lion osx but was told the 13" MBP with i5 processor would probably struggle to run Lion, but the i7 processor would be ok as would all the 15" MBP.
Have I been poorly advised or will my 3 month old MBP actually run Lion ok (I hope so)
Thanks in advance for any answers!

I think you've been poorly advised. Apple states in their documentation: Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion
Notice there are two processor families on the list slower than yours. You're smack in the middle of the sweet spot.
The proof won't come until general release and someone has load that machine, however I wouldn't worry about it. I think your machine will be just fine.

Neither aperture nor iPhoto will start after osx lion upgrade

Anyone have any good ideas how to remedy this??? PLEASE? Off on a long trip through South-East Asia and really need to be able to get photos off my cameras...Thanks!

You're going to have to give us a lot more information if you are to get any help on this.
Version of Aperture to start with, did it ever work after the upgrade to Lion, hardware configuration, what version of the OS were you running before the upgrade, etc.
Any and all information plus a clear description of what you did ad what you have tried will all help getting you an answer.
regards

Can't import AVCCAM files to timeline with OSX Lion upgrade

I used to be able to edit AVCCAM files on the timeline with the Panasonic plug-in for Final Cut Pro 7, but since upgrading to Lion, I can no longer import the files. Is there a workaround?

did you try reinstalling the plug-in? The conventional wisdom is that you shouldn't upgrade the OS, but do a clean install of the OS and all apps. Never a bad idea. I spent years without doing a clean install without any problems until my system did a total meltdown on an upgrade.
Here's a link to a user tip regarding best practices for installing OS and FCP

What happened to my draft emails in OSX lion upgrade?

Prior to upgrading my system to Lion and moving to the Cloud, I had over 50 draft emails in my account. Now that I've made the move, they are gone. The other settings are intact, however, including my Smart Mailbox, rules and signatures. Does anyone have any idea how to get back my draft emails? Thanks!

Why is my OSX lion upgrade slower than my snow leopard?

Hey Everyone,
I run a
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
and every since I upgraded from snow leopard to lion. Everything on my computer seems slower. Just very laggy and not in shape like my last operating system....Anyone else having this problem? What can I do, .....Downgrade?
Thanks in advance

2GB memory is quite low for Lion. i consider 4GB a good amount for users without special memory requirements.
you can see how much memory is free using Activity Monitor. if the number is often small (e.g. less than 10% physical memory), then a memory upgrade would improve your Lion experience.
my needs are sort of high. even with 8 GB i still find myself going out of my way to free memory.

Cannot redeem OSX Lion Upgrade, Cannot find Serial Number

I have tried to utilize the Lion up to date program for the MBP I purchased on June 21st of this year. I am told that it cannot find my serial number. I checked the qualifying purchases and my Part Number is Z0M100DKF, and the Z0M1 family is supposed to be eligible. Can anyone help me?

click on the apple logo on the top left of your desktop. >about this mac
where it says the version of your os.. click on that. I know there's no button but just click on the test until serial number shows up. **It's below "Mac OS X" and above the "software update" button.

How can I remove office 2004 for mac after OSX lion upgrade?

Cannot upgrade to OSx Lion no Recovery

I purchased and tried to install the OSx Lion upgrade. My mac is running Mac OSx 10.6.8 and I have bootcamp with Windows 7
It seems that there is some sort of problem in upgrading the OS when bootcamp is installed, but I am not sure of which would be the solution. The error says :
Mac OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
From an internet search I think that a possible solution would be to have an external hard drive and install OSx lion on it. However, the hard drive must be formatted and have at least 13 G free, so that I will have to purchase a new hard drive only for this task :-( . Before doing so, I'd ask to the community if anyone had experience with this issue and what is the solution. Any help will be greatly appreciate ^_^ Thanks!!!
As a side note I'd like to express my deep disappointment in my Mac, fueled by the frustration of being unable to do a simple task, such as upgrading the OS. This is really the last drop. I can honestly say that buying my macbook pro was a very big mistake :-(
Since I bought it, almost one year ago, I had only problems. The OS is slow and crashes very often. I lost countless hour of work due to crashes, and disk failures. Most of the software is either not compatible, or full of bugs, while I had to pay lots of money for any kind of upgrade/assistance. The upgrade to Osx lion is my latest desperate attempt to stabilize the OS. I can't honestly say that there is a single task which this mac can accomplish, beside browsing e-mails.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I will be happy to give more infos about my problem
For the triple boot: I am installing rEFIt. I dod not think that the problems with OSx Lion are related to this, as I took the decision to install Linux after failing to update the OSx
I would be glad if we can bring the topic back to ways to upgrade to OSx Lion while having bootcamp. Did anyone ever succeded in doing so? ^_^
About the unstable OS:
I have about 3-4 fatal crashes per week. Sometimes the mac is unresponsive and I have to restart it manually, sometimes the screen goes black and the computer restarts itself.
From what I have noticed I'd say this happens either while I am using some application, or just by using an external hard driver.
About the application: I'd say I can divide the crashes based on percentage of occurrance as follows:
60% with Microsoft Power Point (I can't say if it's because of the program or just because I use it at least 70% of the time) 30% Programming( C++, Fortran or Matlab) 10% Latex (using TeX Shop). The crash is immediate and I am not saving or doing anything in particular. Just typing text.
About the external hard drivers: I had some serious crashes due just by plugging in removable hard drivers, or reading/writing on them. This accounts for about 50% of overall crashes. It is not the same hard drive: I had crashes with multiple sources and I think it's some serious issue with the OS. I take extra care in safely removing and ejecting before unplugging from any source. Probably an important comment: most of the flash drivers I have used are also used with Linux systems. I never had a problem in Linux or Windows.
Thanks!!!!!
